“Empowerment” is everywhere—on websites, in leadership meetings, and across social media. But when a word gets used this often, it can lose its weight. In this episode of CLARATY in Action, Clara is joined by Leslie Lew to take a fresh, honest look at what empowerment actually means—and why it matters now more than ever. Together, they break down the common myths around empowerment, including why it’s not about giving permission, motivation, or control. Instead, they explore empowerment as something far more powerful: clarity, capability, ownership, and trust.
